Dubrovnik, which was for almost a thousand years an oasis of Croatian sovereignty in the southern Adriatic, often in his history was attacked by Serbs. For instance in well known Serb-Montenegrian attack 1806 the whole surrounding of the famous old city was devastating, thousands of houses were burned.
The most recent attempt occurred
in autumn 1991. Dubrovnik was heavy attacked by Serb leading Yugoslav army.
They occupied a significant part of Dubrovnik area, killed hundreds of mostly
civilian people. Damages on destroyed homes, infrastructures, cultural and
historical monuments, are counted in billions of US dollars. However, in spite
of huge military advantage Serbs did not succeed in their basic goal. One more
time the ancient city resisted and stayed free.
The occupied surrounding territory
was fried partly in May, and in total in October 1992.
